Re: I'm finding it impossible to land a job
don't give up so easy, the works coming along good, just need bit more of a push as other have intimated. took me about 4 years to get a job in games after starting in about 1998, finally got a junior artist job in about 2002 I think it was, so maybe nearer 5 years -
Re: Sketchbook: Andrew Maximov
Thanks, Keen! Yeah those beams felt kinda weird but I think they might be more of a support thing. Here's the ref I found it on: http://hitch.south.cx/Jerusalem%20-%20Street%20Scene%202%20-%201925.JPG Anyways glad you like it and thank for your feedback and the link.

Re: X Normal is making a mess
If you have multiple meshes intersecting, then yes i'd suggest importing separate pieces and baking them individually and combining the maps afterwards.

Re: London 'counters
I think Mark Laiman (K'Rakarth) is still somewhere near Oxford but I'm spending waay too much time studying at the mo and not nearly enough counting polys.

Re: Neverwinter Nights (the first one) max files

If you are just getting started with NWN, head down to NWVault.Ign.com. There's trillions of new player created quests, and a lot of… -
Re: illustrator or game artist
Dekard, don't give up on that - it takes bloody minded persistence. I first applied in 1997 but only got my first job in 2002 and I hated it he he. SHEPEIRO - I would love to have my own company, but would maybe go down the route of selling 3d models or outsourcing if I ever did that. -

New village project
Hello everyone, I'm starting a new project to bring in Unreal. I'm new in the 3D world and still don't know how low I can go with my triangles. I try different style for the same house to see what it give at the end. This one is the result I prefert, but is it too low or too high for a game. I have 6 000 tris in it. C&C… -
Looking for an E3 pass
I haven't been to E3 since 2002, so I'm looking for a pass to the exhibits. Since I haven't been doing any industry work since then, I don't have credentials to qualify for the free industry pass. If anyone has or knows of someone who has a pass they would be willing to part with, I would be most appreciative. (and no, Im… -
Re: Making good mipmaps?
Try Kaiser; http://number-none.com/product/Mipmapping,%20Part%202/index.html (and gamma correction?)
